Lovable Pikachu, the yellow star of the anime series Pokémon, first made his appearance in 1996 in a Nintendo Game Boy game and arrived on TV a year later. A generation of people made Pokemon GIFs to put on their sites and really show they caught them all!. Unlike many things from the heyday of GIFs, Pokémon are still going strong, as last year’s Pokémon Go craze can attest.

A peculiar mishmash of moving images, including the boy Chunk from The Goonies doing his characteristic ‘truffle shuffle’, a suited gentleman spinning a vinyl record, a dancing Pikachu and a stick man on the toilet contemplating whether to end it all.
